The European Association for the Study of Obesity represents 36 European nations dedicated to understanding and addressing obesity to improve public health. EASO considers obesity to be a health, research, and societal priority. We promote the study of obesity as well as working with partners across society to engage in actions that reduce the burden of unhealthy excess weight in Europe through prevention and management. We are the leading European scientific and practice-based professional membership association in this field. EASO is in formal relations with the WHO Regional Office for Europe and is an active member of EU Commission initiatives including the EU Platform on Diet, Physical Activity and Health and the Joint Programing Initiative on Healthy Diet Healthy Lives. EASO facilitates and engages in actions that prevent and combat the epidemic of obesity.

Spotlight on @EASOobesityECN member: Julianne Lundanes from Norway 🇳🇴 Julianne's research aims to enhance our understanding of dietary interventions for managing lipedema and includes ✅ Exploring the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet for pain relief and improved quality of life in women with lipedema. ✅ Conducting a study comparing a ketogenic diet with a non-ketogenic low-energy diet, focusing on pain intensity, body composition, inflammation, and more, using MRI scans to examine subcutaneous adipose tissue. Lipedema, often misdiagnosed as obesity or lymphedema, involves excess fat buildup in the lower body, causing pain, tenderness, and reduced mobility, significantly affecting quality of life.
